Abstract
A dust free zone is created in a granulator by including a dust barrier in the pan of the granulator in a position such that the pan is divided into two sections. The inlet for feeding material to be granulated is located in one section of the apparatus and the discharge outlet is located in the other section. This device makes it possible to conduct a granulation process on a continuous basis without interruption and without exposure of workers to potentially hazardous dust.
